Right... we are not privy yet to the details of the suit... which was my point.

Get the guy back on the field cuz we're gonna need him. Everything else will work out as the season progresses.
I can see MT and Jameis connecting with
a lot of deep receptions.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million

I am fully pulling for CGM to return to the field and lead the team to a second Lombardi. I don’t fault the guy for off the field legal issues that don’t involve criminal complaints.

I am disappointed as a fan that the guy who at one time was a great example
of a record setting, non-diva type WR has since had questions arise about his behavior. Be it with the way he responded to Brees to the way he fought with a teammate and had a team suspension to the way he chose to have his surgery at an inconvenient time for the team. These are not the actions of a team leader in my option. He earned and is being payed top WR dollars. I don’t think it’s too much to ask as a fan that the player that takes on this financial gain also take on a certain responsibility with that kind of contract. It’s the difference between being a Marcus Colston or being a Terrell Owens.

You think you know, but you don’t know...and you never will! Coach Jim Mora

I am inclined to agree with this. Maybe I am expecting too much from him, based on pre-payday production. Calling him Terrell Owens at this point, might be a stretch.

The other beef is how some solely blame Brees for Thomas doing absolutely zero upon his return last year. Pitch and catch = two players at fault.

Again, same as last year he will be out a few games, will see how he responds to returning this season. My hope is that Calloway and others rise to the occasion and Thomas continues to be as insignificant as he was last season and will be the first 6 weeks of this season.

Great Take, and I'll add this...

Fire your personal manager, at the very least, clean house on who's advising him in his dealings, public image, daily life plan and goals...

Second, #FindJesus and #GetHumbleBeforeGod; Larry Bird talked about what the #BigMo does to pro athletes, and this looks text book...

Third, visit, get with Larry Fitzgerald; greatest receiver of his era, and more importantly, one of the elites as an NFL Pro; embrace his sage wisdom and advice...

Thomas definitely needs to reassess the way he approaches life. People are truly happier when they don't think of themselves first but want to spread good vibes. Can't call Mike needs a different mojo.

Re: Michael Thomas suing for $1 million

I’d love to see Thomas score a touchdown and softly lay the ball down on the ground.

The guy broke records not even 2 years ago. You "grumpy old men" type seem to forget this. And I'm 45. He has definitely left a statement in his playing so far. None of you seem to bring this up when Gronk spikes the ball or anyone else doing some form of celebrating, like Brees shaking his fist after a TD. I hate some politicize everything. There's nothing wrong with criticizing things. It's just a bad look when there's zero consistency because......well, you put a political spin on everything.

Politics and sports have to meet when players demonstrate during the national anthem. It is the players that invite it. Not grumpy old men.
